  • at least two paragraphs that each contain a well-supported (and documented) claim or sub-argument that will provide strong support for your fallacy-free argument;
  • at least one paragraph discussing a documented, reasonable counterclaim to your position that needs to be a legitimate claim that someone has actually made as a counter-position on your issue;

watch a film and read attachments and lecture ppt write a paper

For this paper, you will watch and reflect on John Adams, Part 6 (2008)

Your paper must include a thesis statement and will be graded on coherence and strength of argument,
familiarity with and use of course materials, and clarity and style of writing.

While watching the film , consider the following:

  1. How does this representation of the past compare to the history that we learned about in class
    lectures and readings?
  2. What effects might the differences between reality and historical fiction have on the average
    American’s perception of the past?
  3. Is film an effective means of learning (or disseminating) historical knowledge?

After watching the film and carefully considering these questions, write a 3-4 page paper responding
to the following prompt:

The successes of films like Dances With Wolves (1990), Lincoln (2012), and 12 Years a Slave (2013)
emphasize the fact that many Americans derive knowledge of the past through cinematic
representations. How does your film rate as a source of historical information? In addition to your
introductory paragraph and conclusion, your essay should tell the history of the events depicted in the
film as discussed in class and course readings, compare and contrast this history with the cinematic
portrayal of the same events, and provide critical analysis of the merits and/or faults of the film. In the
end, you may want to critically analyze film more generally as a vehicle for historical information.

This is not a research paper. Other than the film itself, you should rely only on course lectures,
readings, and handouts to craft your response to the prompt. Be sure to cite your sources. Since this is
an introductory course, you may use parenthetical citations. For example: (Baker, 53), (Chávez,
15-16), (Schultz, 8/12/17).* All information derived from a source must be cited, even if you are not
quoting. Also, this must be an original work of scholarship; plagiarism will be punished.

Directed Response Essay

For this essay, I need you to compose a comparative analysis of the two films (Rebel Without a Cause 1955 & Imitation Of Life 1959) in order to answer the following: How do we understand the 1950s based on the impression these two films give us of the time period?

Consider through comparison and contrast how these two films work together to illustrate the 1950s. For instance, we might look at Rebel Without a Cause and An Imitation of Life as films that give us insight into the changing attitudes toward parenthood. Or we might look at societal attitudes toward female sexuality in the 1950s by examining Rebel Without a Cause and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Or analyze the demands of masculinity in On the Beach and Rebel Without a Cause.

Again, these are just examples.

You may choose to focus on a specific issue – race, gender, social life, etc. – perhaps drawing on the context presentations for guidance. However, it is important that this focus be sufficiently narrowed in order to cover the topic comprehensively.

All essays should adhere to the following criteria:

  • Meet 3.5-4 pages in length
  • Use proper MLA formatting/works cited page
  • Construct a clear and thought provoking thesis
  • Employ sufficient, relevant evidence from source materials (the films)
  • Avoid summary and focus on analysis

Research Question and Tentative Thesis on Bipolar Disorder

/in /by

When you have discovered a topic in the natural sciences related to your chosen disability, ask a clear and specific question about it to guide your research. Use that question to do preliminary research on the FTCC database. When you have found at least three articles, read the abstracts, skim the articles, and figure out what answers your sources are providing to your question. Formulate your tentative thesis statement as the answer to your research question.

For example, I might have chosen the neurological impairment known as stroke for my semester topic. I have discovered that some strokes (ischemic) are caused by a blocked blood vessel, and some (hemorrhagic) are caused by a burst blood vessel, and they both cause a lack of oxygen to the brain. I might ask as a research question What factors determine the prognosis after an ischemic stroke? After doing preliminary research, I will come up with an answer to this question, my tentative thesis: Post-stroke depression, nature of frontal-lobe lesions, and complete blood count are some factors related to the long-term prognosis of patients with ischemic strokes.

Situation/Subject: Change in New Employee Orientation and Training (I will be looking at initial training such as OSHA, and Equipment)

I use to work for as a Supervisor for OSRAM Sylvania, and we had an issue with the new employee orientation and training. For one, I believe the company lost its vision, and the leadership was just trying to fill gaps quickly due the holiday season approaching in the next 90 days. For anyone who isn’t aware, Sylvania produces light bulbs. The HR would just toss forms out at the new employees to sign and them have initial off on OSHA required training saying they read over and understood the information. There was no real New Orientation Schedule for an employee regardless if they were management or not. Employees were unaware how benefits worked, what safety requirements were mandated training, and they had no set training schedule on equipment to be certified. It was all pencil whipped along with people not being fully trained on equipment that could lead to a serious injury. In my project, I want to clearly define the problems with orientation to include training, and show a solution that will change how the company will fix this to avoid taking risks and shortcuts.

Instructions:

Two scholarly or peer-reviewed resources to support your response.

Video to watch: http://www.ted.com/talks/martin_jacques_understand…

Let’s talk about culture. My culture. Your culture. Our culture. Other’s culture. Understanding culture is fundamental to formulating and implementing change. Culture is a determining factor in the success of any change initiative.

Discuss your organization’s culture by using the Cultural Web and any other tools you think are useful. You can talk about your school, church, work, or any organization that is relatively stable. The most valuable exercise for you, however, would be to use the organization you selected for your project (which is posted above).

This Discussion Board is an all or nothing assignment. You either receive full credit or none at all. There is no partial credit. To receive ANY credit for the discussion board, you must meet ALL of the following criteria:

  1. Do NOT describe or restate the content of the discussion reading or video. Instead, choose one or two points that you find interesting/important and elaborate on those points in your discussion.
  2. A minimum response is 500 words.
  3. ****Every initial response is required to include, minimum, two scholarly or peer-reviewed resources to support your response. Our library allows you to choose these settings to help you find appropriate research to support your work.
  4. Do NOT use Wikipedia.com, wiki-anything, about.com, how.com, answers.com, blogs, or any other generic answer base, because you cannot verify the accuracy of the information on the website. Instead, search our extensive library databases to find articles that have contain verified information to support your discussion. If you find a blog from a notable source, you can include that information, but the blog will not count as one of your scholarly references.
  5. There are several articles in Course Documents and Web Links that you can, and should, use as references to support your discussions.
  6. Every response must be completed in APA style. That includes all citations, both in text and reference, and format. This includes indented paragraphs, font size, and other particulars that you will find specified in the APA manual. You will find an example of a paper written in APA style in Course Materials. Also, the APA style manual is a required text for this course. Discussion boards do not require cover pages, tables of content, and other front matter, and can be copied and pasted from a draft page, such that attachments are not necessary.
  7. You must respond to at least one other student’s Discussion Board. You are required to actively communicate with other students in this class.
  8. The initial post for each week’s discussion board is due by Saturday, 11:59 p.m. Wise students respond much earlier in the week and stay involved.
  9. There are no discussion boards in week 1 or week 9, because these are the weeks for preparation and the final exam.
  10. Technique counts, so be sure to proof read your posts for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and other technical issues that can impact communication quality. If you are not a strong writer, you can contact the Writing Center for help toward improving your work.
  11. I always suggest that students write their discussion board posts in Word or other word processing software rather than directly into Blackboard. This allows you to save your work and to make corrections before you post your work publicly. Blackboard has, regrettably, been known to eat some thoughtful and insightful responses simply because the response did not load correctly.
  12. Again, if you do not meet all of these requirements, you will not receive any credit for the discussion board. Below, you will see a checklist that will help you insure that your work meets graduate standards and decreases the likelihood that you will suffer oversights.
